The Crystal Dump - Anonymous employee Swarovski Employee Review

Extremely incompetent people are hired here, either through nepotism or very low interview standards. The legacy employees are here not because they love the organization, but rather because they are incapable of finding other jobs. People are paid large sums of money and do nothing, so they stick around because they essentially have no marketable skills. And because they are not held accountable, why should they go somewhere where they actually have to work? Leadership is not worthy of respect. Unclear what it is they even do on a day to day. High levels of ego from people who don't even understand basic retail functions. Everything is centrally mandated, so the local teams are more in execution mode. Not a dynamic place to make flexible decisions depending on the market fluctuations. No wonder sales are down. Sales teams are insufficiently trained in retail metrics. Very hard personalities to work with. High levels of organizational dysfunction, leading to high turnover. Most toxic manager I have ever dealt with. I had numerous unpleasant situations with high level execs which required my going to HR. They did nothing.
